Tamil is natively known as தமிழ் and belongs to the Dravidian, South Dravidian language family.
There are approximately 78 million native speakers worldwide.
Tamil is one of the oldest living languages in the world, with a literary tradition spanning over 2,000 years and Sangam literature dating to the 3rd century BCE.
It is the official language of Tamil Nadu in India and an official language of Sri Lanka and Singapore.
Tamil was the first Indian language to be declared a classical language by the Government of India in 2004.
The Tamil script is an abugida (alphasyllabary) with 12 vowels, 18 consonants, and one special character (the aytham), which combine to form 247 compound characters.
Tamil has maintained a purist tradition, with a movement to replace Sanskrit and English loanwords with pure Tamil equivalents, particularly in formal and official usage.
The Tamil-speaking community in Australia includes migrants from both India (Tamil Nadu) and Sri Lanka, numbering over 100,000 combined. Sri Lankan Tamils, many of whom arrived as refugees during and after the civil conflict, are concentrated in Sydney (Strathfield, Homebush) and Melbourne (Dandenong). Indian Tamils are part of the broader Indian skilled migration wave. Pongal, Deepavali, and Thai Pusam are widely celebrated.
About Avalon
Avalon Beach is a northern beachside suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 35 kilometres north of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Pittwater Council, in the Northern Beaches region. The area is also known as Avalon, with the name Avalon Beach being assigned during a change in boundaries and names in the Pittwater region in 2012. Avalon was named after the mythical Avalon, a legendary island in Celtic languages mythology. According to legends, Avalon was an earthly paradise and the final resting place of King Arthur. The first land grant in the area was 60 acres (240,000 m2) to John Farrell in 1827. A 400-acre (1.6 km2) land grant was made to Father John Joseph Therry in 1833, who fought hard for the recognition of the Catholic Church in the colony. He built a church in this area but his plans for a settlement never eventuated. In the 1920s, the area was still known as 'Priest's Flat'. Arthur J Small handled a subdivision in 1921 and chose the name Avalon.
